After helping the Dragons reach the state championships earlier this year, coach Carl Anderson passed away in February.
After the state championship game, Carl and his wife traveled to New Mexico. While there, Carl became sick with COVID-19 and died in the hospital. A GoFundMe fundraiser, which has raised more than $15,000, has been started to cover hospital and funeral costs for the Anderson family.
“I’m devastated to say we lost an amazing husband, father, grandpa, friend, coach and mentor,” head football coach Riley Dodge says on Twitter. “Coach Carl Anderson impacted so many on and off the field during his coaching career, and I’m so thankful that I got to witness his impact on others.”
The memorial service for Carl will be for family only. However, family and friends are invited to the burial service which is planned for February 26 at 10 a.m. at Mount Olivet Cemetery.
